Full show transcript:

Wake up classy 97 at gmail.com is where you can email the show.

We did get an email just the other day. I forgot to tell you about it. Oh, you didn't even tell me. That's what I just said.

So it was from Murray who wanted to let me know that when I was missing that book that someone bought from underneath me, that there's potentially other places to shop from books. So I appreciate the the info. That is true. Thank you.

There are more bookstores I could go to instead of just relying on the one that I went to. You are correct. But that's a pretty obscure book. It's pretty specific.

Yeah, it is. But thank you. But you do shop around. I typically do. I go to other bookstores.

Yep. I hadn't been to this was a sporting goods store that also carries some books that potentially might have what I'm looking for. But I didn't think to go there.

So I appreciate the info. You can email the show anytime. Wake up.

Wake up classy 97 at gmail.com. Okay, I wanted to talk about dress codes because there's some there's some talk online where a gentleman went to a fancy place for dinner on Valentine's Day with his girlfriend. Uh-huh. And he noticed that half the people were just like dressed very casually. And so he was upset and offended because why aren't people dressing up anymore? Okay. Well, here's the thing. I'm not mad about a dress code. I'm not necessarily either.

But I also like you shouldn't be kicked out of a place because you're not dressed to what they recommend you dress. Okay. Do you know what I mean? I understand.

But like when we were in San Diego, for example, and we went downtown, there was dress code at restaurants and some of the like nightclubs and stuff because they want to have an atmosphere. Yeah. And I respect that. They're a private business.

If they want to say, hey, listen, it's not like we don't just do street clothes. All right. We had been outside seeing all day. We're just in shorts and t-shirts. And there was one place we wanted to go to for dinner and it was like, no, you can't come in. Yeah.

You have to be in pants and a button up. And it was like, okay, well, we're not in the Idaho. Exactly. But there are places where it'd be nice to go to and not I'm not saying I keep the riffraff out.

Like I'm not like old people speak here, but it'd be nice to go and have like a real upscale feel while you're trying to do something. So I understand especially on a Valentine's thing. It's a special date night.

It's a you want to you want to you don't want to like show up and then have people that are like in their work boots sitting next to you while you're trying to have a fancy dinner. See, I'm up to mine because I agree with you. But I'm also like, yeah, but I don't like the exclusivity of it.

Okay. If I want to the private establishment says this is the dress code in order to be a patron here, then you should follow that dress code. If you're a customer and you're feeling like you have or having a bad experience, that's too bad because the business itself didn't say there's a dress code. Like this is a I feel like this is a guy who went out on a fancy date and had somebody with muddy boots next to him and went, it'd be nice if you put a little effort in because you're it's affecting my date night experience.

That's a bit of a carony main character sort of idea. But if a private business says, hey, you got to you got to have a button up shirt to get in a golf course can say you can't golf here unless your shirt has a collar. Yeah. You know, it's a thing. But it's that's a private business.

They can do that. But if it's just me, I want a better atmosphere. Hold on time out because what if a place says no hat, then I'm going to have to go no hat.

You don't go no hat anywhere. Then maybe we'll go somewhere else to eat. But if we really want the experience, I'll figure it out.

Okay. But it's that's an interesting that's an interesting point of view. I think from where this guy is coming from, it's the place of I wanted to have a better experience and people not dressing up affected that. Yeah, but his experience shouldn't be determined on how other people are absolutely correct. And that's where it's different than your own thing. Then it's different than a private business saying there's a dress code to get in.

Right. If if people were allowed in that we're not following the dress code, and you were expecting a different experience, and you followed the rules, that's a different conversation. I feel like he dressed up went to dinner, wanted a nice experience, and was with regularly dressed people and it bugged him.

Yeah, and that's his problem. And that's all I have to say. Okay. Yeah, well, today's show is ready to go. Hello. How's it going? Great.

All right, cool. Good news. Good news. Did you see the snir? Yeah.

I guess it just took a minute for winter to go. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, oops. Yeah.

And then and then it got things started. Winter. Yeah. We still goose.

I know. Well, there's supposed to be a little bit of snow today and then a snow shower tomorrow, Friday, cloudy and breezy and cold with a snow shower. Friday's temperature. The high is 23. The overnight lows four. No. Yeah, the overnight low tomorrow is in the negatives.

Like, it's just like winter was like meandering. Listen to me. When I say that there's a lot of people that are like, but we need the moisture. Yeah. Yes, that's true.

I know it. But I have quite loved having no snow. It's been a mild winter. It's been, you haven't had to worry about a lot of window scraping. We've been nice. Yeah, that's been quite nice. Yeah.

I've only worn my winter coat maybe three times total. Yeah. It's been quite nice. Well, listen, it's about a three day splash.

Okay. Whatever we had yesterday, today, tomorrow, a little bit Friday. So there's what, three and a half days of winter. And then we kind of get warm and back up into the forties, a little bit of rain here and there for the next few weeks, back up into the fifties as we get closer to March, like early March.

So it's, it's just a temporary little winter. Okay. That's fine. I'll handle it.

And what do they say? Are we sure could use the moisture? We're good.

And again, I'm not a meteorologist. I'm just looking at the internet reading you what's on the internet. I don't even know what I'm talking about. No, and it's going to change.

Yeah. Tomorrow, you are correct. It could change today and all of a sudden be 70. Who knows?

It's crazy out there. I just know it was pretty and don't get me wrong. I do love snow on the trees. It's pretty.

I would just much rather be celebrating the snow at home with a cup of tea. Right. I get that. I get that. But instead, we're at work and driving it. So you know, it goes. Here we are.

Yeah. Well, good morning. We're hanging out in the studio. If you need anything, you know where to find us here. This is where we'll be for the next few hours. So hi.

Good morning. Here's some good news. This is kind of a cool story.

There is a six year old named Pym. Go ahead. Okay. I read the story yesterday. Did you? Yeah. From Pittsburgh? And she is making history selling Girl Scout cookies. Yes.

Yeah. She's done a pretty amazing thing. First of all, she had a video go viral on TikTok.

That helps. She has sold over 100,000 boxes of cookies. It's pretty incredible.

It is pretty incredible. She started going door to door to door to her, you know, throughout her neighborhood. And she had this viral video on TikTok and she has just sold a ton of cookies. She is now single handedly funding massive adventures like a trip to Niagara Falls for her fellow Daisy scouts, which is pretty awesome. When she, she was asked why she worked so hard, she says she just loves making people happy. And she admits to secretly having her eye on the all time record of 180,000 boxes. She's like, I got to crush that record. What I read was that she has some special needs.

Oh, cool. She was part of a different Girl Scout troop that didn't necessarily enjoy having her around. And so then she joined a different troop and she's crushing it. And you know, I love that kind of a story. Yeah, it's awesome. She's adorable. She is adorable.

It's so cute. Yeah. Pym, you did it. And I like that she's gonna soldier on and go for the big record. I think that's so good. So she's gonna get it too. Yeah, she's got some determination that Pym. That's right.

It's good news. We were cleaning out the garage the other day and there was a car scraper like a, you know, how it has, yeah, it's just nice scraper with the brush on it. The brush. Yeah. Yeah.

And I said, this has been kicking around for so long. Does everybody have one in their car? I have two in my truck. You do? I have the big long extendo one and I have a yellow one. Okay.

You said yes. I think everybody has one in their car. And I said, great, I'm gonna throw this away because it's been kicking around for years that blue scraper.

Okay. So I get my car going this morning and what I use as a scraper is a tape. A cassette tape as an ice scraper.

Yeah. But what do you have for a snow brush? That was my conundrum this morning. Why did you put your snow brush in the garage and then forget and then throw it away?

Unsure. But I have a box of stuff in my hatchback. Okay. I have like an emergency blanket. I have an emergency hat.

I have a first aid kit. Never know when you're gonna need a hat. I guess it's a beanie. Sometimes I've been out and I've been like, oh, it's cold. Where's my beanie? My emergency beanie. Okay.

Whatever. I have jumper cables. So I was digging around in that box, my emergency box.

Like, surely I have to have some kind of something. No, I threw away the snow brush. I don't have one. So when you ask, does everyone have one? Did you think to ask yourself, do I have one? I was sure I had one. I was sure I had one in my emergency box.

I don't. All I have is another scraper. That's not a cassette tape. I'll never use that. Is it just a handheld scraper? I'll never use that to scrape because my cassette tape works better than any scraper. I get it.

But I had to use that scraper to brush out the snow. So I have two. Okay. But here's the thing.

What? I also use a cassette tape as a scraper. And I have the big brush to get rid of the snow because I've got that truck. So it's an extendo brush.

Yeah. And it was nice this morning. It does not work as a scraper. It's a great brush. You bought me that. I think you bought me that extendo brush. I think you bought it for yourself. I think I did. Because you were like, I need a brush to get rid of the snow.

But it was too much. It's bigger than your whole car. It fits very nicely in the back seat of my truck. But it took up way too much room in your car. Yeah.

And it was too much to handle. So why don't you grab the yellow one out of the front of my truck because you did start my truck today. Oh. Oh. Well, I didn't want to take yours. Just use it and put it back. I didn't think about it. I'm just going to dig him through this box that you know doesn't have a brush in it.

I thought I did have a brush in it. So what'd you end up doing? Just using your hands? I said I used that handheld scraper and I just smooshed it. You did what to it? Like I shooshed it away. Shooshed. Yeah. Shooshed? Shooshed? No.

Okay, wait. I threw away that the one in the garage. Did that garbage get thrown in the garbage? I don't know. Can I dig it out of the garbage?

It's in front of the house getting picked up today. Man, oh man. Did I really am in pad shape? That was my brush. Well, just take the one out of the front seat. But what are you going to use? I'll use the big brush. I use the cassette to scrape and I use the big brush to push snow. You never use the yellow one to push snow? If it's light, but I'll be fine. I'll use the big one.

Okay. Are you sure? You don't need it right the second?

No, I don't. When you need it, go get it and use it. I will. Thanks. Thanks, buddy.

You're super welcome. Sorry you had some struggles this morning with trying to figure that out. It's early. I can't make any decisions that early in the morning.

Okay. My brain doesn't think clearly. All my brain says is go back to bed. Go back to bed. That's all. I'll repeat over and over.

I see. The whole time you're outside. It's I shouldn't be outside. What am I doing? And I have to force myself to look for a scraper brush and be like, no, we can't go back to bed.

We got to scrape these windows. And then my brain goes, no, go back to bed. What a fight. What an internal struggle you're dealing with. Every day. Just a head yelling, go back to bed.

Go to bed. It's better there. It is better there. I know. I'm aware. Well, glad you made it here safe with scraped windows with your little handheld scraper. Yeah, I've problem solved.

I can make it happen. Oh yeah. It's just not the best method. Oh no, that's fine, but you took care of it. Good job.

Thumbs up. You ever heard of the bedtime gap? I guess I don't know what that is.

So you haven't heard of it? No. Okay. That's what you had to say. You just say yes or no when I say. I answered the question. You said have you heard of it? I don't think I have.

No. What is it? Have you heard about the question gap? When you ask a question and I give you an answer, but it's not the answer you want. You didn't give me the answer.

Go ahead. What is it? The bedtime gap is when partners, one of them goes to bed and then, you know, a little bit later, the other partner goes to bed. Like last night? That was on you. No, no, no.

I'm not mad about it. I think the issue would come in to play when the person who already went to bed is jostled awake by the other person coming to bed. That didn't happen last night.

Did it? I'm just saying that has happened where you'll be like, I'm going to bed and I'm like, okay, I'll be up in a little bit. And then I make it to bed, but you're either asleep or trying to be asleep. And then my process of getting to bed is too loud or too jostly.

And then you're awake. Yeah. Yeah. I don't. Okay.

That's not what I'm talking about. What is the, just the gap? Just the time. Just the bedtime gap.

Okay. So the average time for couples, the bedtime gap average is 80 minutes. That's decent. That's like a big time.

Hour and 20 minutes. No, I know. I knew that. That's like 80 minutes. Yeah. Somewhere between 79 and 81. I get it.

Okay. Last night, I was so tired yesterday that I just laid in bed and then I fell asleep, obviously, but it was like 830. I was lying in bed just watching TV and then crashed out for a little bit. And then I said, I got to go to bed. And that's when you came downstairs and said, I'm going to bed.

Yeah. They didn't even make it all the way downstairs. I know you stopped on the stairs. You're like, Hey, I'm going to bed. Okay.

And you said, I'll be up in a minute, but it took longer than a minute, which is fine. You do you. I'm not forcing you to go to bed when I go to bed. I'm just, is that what that meant when you said I'm going to bed?

No, no, that's not what that meant. Because it could have been a text. You wouldn't even have to do the stairs. You could have been like, I'm crashing in the bed.

I'm going to sleep. Would that have been okay? You wouldn't have been upset by that? No. Why would I be upset by that?

I don't know. I debated actually. The only reason I even went downstairs to tell you. You could have called me even. Was I thought you were asleep in the basement because I was just going to go to bed. I said good night to the kids and I was like, all right, I'm going to bed. And then I laid in bed and I went, I think Josh is probably asleep in the basement. So I wasn't downstairs doing some research, working on camera stuff and all kinds of things. So that's the only reason I even told you I was going to bed.

I see. Because you thought you were going to bust me sleeping. You were like, I'm going to go catch him asleep. No, I wasn't trying to bust you. I was just going to be like, you got to come up to bed.

If you want. It makes it sound like I'm your mom that's like, you're going to bed. You didn't even get upstairs and go to bed. I don't care when you go to bed. Go to bed when you want. I don't care.

You don't need to get up bad. We typically go to bed at the same time though. Right. Usually.

They say that the people, the couples with fewer night gaps are more happy. Is that right? Yeah. That's what they say. And that's because there isn't that jostling and all that noise when the other person comes up to go to bed. Yeah.

You get it. Like, let me sleep, man. Younger couples find it more important to lessen the bedtime gap, but it matters less to older folks. Like older couples are like, I don't care what you go to bed. Go to bed when you want. And maybe that's, maybe that's you're in a transitional period where you came downstairs and you're like, I kind of just want you to go to bed too.

But you do you. But it was a little bit more subconscious than that. I just wonder if it's like older couples probably have been together longer. So yeah, they're like, we've been going to bed at the same time for decades. Yeah. It's your responsibility to go to sleep. I don't care when you go to bed, go to bed when you want to go to bed. Yeah.

It doesn't matter anyway. We're going there. We lay our head down. We go to sleep. We crash out.

That's what I'm saying. So plus if you go to sleep before me, there's a good chance you're going to get more comfortable and warm and do, you know, okay, I'm good. And then I'm going to come in and ruin it.

Cold feet or whatever. And you'll be like, no, you know, how it goes. I do know how it goes. But if I go to bed before you, I'll make the bed nice and toasty. On your side, it doesn't affect my side of the bed.

That's true. I was so cold last night. I don't know what was going on. It took me forever to get warmed up. And then I woke up this morning, I was like, what is going on? Why am I under so many blankets? This is ridiculous.

Hot flash. No, I think because I've been doing the CPAP for about a month now, I think that I don't move. You don't. Like I stay still all night. And so I'm in the same position like before when I was tossing and turning and waking myself up and in sleep, I would kick my feet out or I would, you know, temperature regulation happened throughout the night.

But because I'm not moving because I'm just asleep, I don't notice temperature change and stuff like I did. I don't know. It's interesting. I don't wake up in the night. You know, what's interesting is that before your CPAP and you were snoring a lot, that used to wake me up a lot. But now I'm not, you'd feel like I would be more rested too. No, I think it's still just because we're going to bed at like 10.

Yeah, no. But then we got to wake up so early. I went to bed at 8.30 last night. If I could wake up at seven, it'd be awesome.

That would be awesome. I would be good with waking up at seven every day. But then I'd be late for work. Yeah, we'd be really late. So that would be a problem. They would call that they'd say we have a problem.

And I'd be like, but I'm so tired. No problems. There's no problems here. We have a problem. You need to be here before you're waking up at seven.

Oh, but why? Well, anyway, Josh, I don't care when you go to bed. Go to bed when you want. You're an adult.

You can make your own decisions. What freedom I have just gained. When I say the name Sarah McLaughlin to you, what do you think of? Say your name one more time. Stop. You kind of buzzed through her last name. Sarah McLaughlin. There it is.

That's correct. Usually you say Sarah McLaughlin and I go, I don't know who that is. So I just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same person. I think about sad pets. Okay. That's exactly what I wanted you to say. Yeah, it's sad animals. Apparently that's what everyone thinks about when they think about Sarah McLaughlin. Yeah. They think about sad.

The ASPCA, the song Angel. Yep. And pets with cats with one eye.

Yeah. Skinny, bone skin, dogs. It's sad animals. It's very sad. So she has said that she gets 10 to 20 letters a week from fans about rescue animals or requests to assist with different charities.

Okay. Like they just licensed her song. Well, they can't, they don't even want her to play the song Angel because it's so connected with the ASPCA. So if they want her to assist with the charity, they're like, we got to use another one of your songs. But do you see what I'm saying is she's getting all this mail about rescue animals.

Yeah. But she doesn't work there. No, I know.

She just licensed her song. I know. And she isn't the one out there saving the animals, is what I'm trying to say. No, I get it. But she's become so synonymous with animals in crisis that they're like, Sarah, you got to help.

You got to help me. That's kind of sad because that song is a great song, but every time you hear it, all you can think about is sad dogs. A dog that's very hungry. Right.

A very hungry dog that is correct. When did that commercial even come out? Do they even still play it? Of course they do.

No, they can't. Possibly 2000s. It was 2000s. That song came out. Well, I don't know when the song came out, but that commercial with that song came out in the 2000s. You know the song, right? Yes, I do. Should I sing it? No.

No, you're good. It looks like that campaign first aired in 2006. Oh, really? It is actually quite successful. It became a viral sensation in the late 2000s and raised over $30 million within its first year. It's so sad. That is wild. You saw that commercial once and then you would get so sad and you'd start crying and then you're like, I got to donate. I've got to help these pets.

I know it. The second time it came on, you were like, yeah, I'm still really sad. The third time it came on, you were like, I can't. We got to watch something else. I know.

Yeah. So the song itself came out in 1997. The ad campaign started almost 10 years later and it's been going strong for 20 years.

Going strong. They still use that ad campaign? There's no way they're not still using it. It's too successful. It's too good.

It's just too good. She, okay, so she said that she was doing a food bank charity gig in New York and they said, but don't play that song. Please don't play Angel because it's so synonymous with your other charity that it's going to create some brand confusion.

Yeah. And we want you helping our food bank. We don't want you helping sad pets, sad animals. I mean, hey, listen, thanks everybody for coming out and helping support this food drive. Real quick, another project I'm real passionate about, sad dogs.

I'd like to play a song about sad dogs. Yeah. No, no.

Man. 10 to 20 letters a week. That's nuts. What's 52 times 20? Don't look at me like, I hate when you do that. I hate it so much because you're like, what is it?

I'll wait for you to do math. What is it? It's 1040. 1040. Good buddy. 1040.

Good buddy. It's also your tax form, the 1040. Ew. Never say taxes to me again. What if they used that song in tax prep? You're like, oh, taxes. So sad.

Taxes are already so sad. I know. But in the arms. Yesterday you were cleaning up the kitchen a little bit and you loaded the dishwasher and then you said to me, there's a sink full of dishes. Well, I had some dishes that needed to be washed. Look, I cooked dinner and we were, listen, I didn't cook dinner. I cooked part of dinner for tonight last night and all the dishes that go in the dishwasher I loaded.

I unloaded the dishwasher after work yesterday. Like all that's fine. Like whatever. I hate hand washing dishes so much and not everything's dishwasher safe. Like a cup here or there, fine, but I just hate it. I always have. You really always have. It was, I mean, that was the worst part of my apartment when I lived alone. When I dishes, I just hate dishes so much. When I first started dating you, your house was actually very clean, including your bathroom. There was always dirty dishes.

I hate dishes so much. Why? Where's that step from?

I have no idea. We had a dishwasher growing up, so it wasn't like I had to like stand behind the sink. No, I just had a dishwasher. We did not have a dishwasher, but there were three of us and guess what, three kids and two parents. There were five of them.

Well, yeah, there were three kids. And so when it was dish washing time after dinner, guess what job I had? Washing dishes.

Well, my sister had the job of actually scrubbing the dishes. So she would fill up the sink. We had a double sink. She would fill up the sink with soapy water. My brother would dry the dishes. Guess what job I had?

Wedged in the middle. Rinsing. Rinse. I hated it. You hated rinsing?

What kind of job is that? That's stupid. Wash the soap off this. Yeah. My sister would hand me the soapy dish and I'd put it in the water, rinse it off, give it to my brother to dry.

I'd be like, this is so boring. Can I have a better job? No. You don't get to run the towel and you don't get to use the hot water.

You get to use the cold water to get the soap bubbles off. Dang it. I can't do anything. I just don't like it.

I don't, I don't know. It's just tedious and boring. I don't mind it. I really don't.

It drives me nuts. I don't care about sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, whatever. Laundry, fine.

I hate dishes. I think it's actually, I don't know, it's a time to reflect. Oh, is it? It's a nice calming exercise. I don't mind it.

I really don't. I mean, if you give me a sink full of dishes and it's like maybe like caked on spaghetti sauce, that's gross. Maybe it comes from like the amount of dishes that I had to wash in food service. It's a ton.

It's a lot. When you worked what at Burger King? Well, yeah, when I was doing the Burger King thing, yeah, because there's a ton and it's not, it's not plates. It's not like a table service place where there's even more. But I despised washing dishes there.

And maybe that's where it stems from is just because the quantity that you have to wash a food prep stuff of just everything and it has to be so like appropriately and meticulously done for food safety stuff that it's, it's like, it's dumb. I just don't like it. I don't like washing dishes.

I would rather do pretty much anything else. I used to nanny for someone and she would leave dishes from the night before in the sink for me to wash. I didn't care for that.

Like dried up spaghetti sauce and stuff. That's awful. Yeah, well, did you do it? Was it part of your duties?

I mean, it wasn't until I did it one time. And then she was like, Oh, that was so helpful. I think I'll do that again. And I went, cool. So you became housekeeper and nanny.

That's not nice. No, not if it wasn't like disclosed. Was it discussed?

No. Well, why'd you keep doing it? You fool. I know. You set yourself up.

I don't know. I don't mind doing it. I mean, I think it's one thing to like do the dishes if it's like the meal you made for the kids or something just to clean up. Well, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But to do the dishes from the night before, I would have been like, that's not my thing. Well, it's because they were just there. And I was like, well, I have some time the kids are napping.

So I just washed them and put them away. You fool. I know. You fool. It happens when you go above and beyond.

Without having a discussion. Hey, I noticed these were in there. Would you like me to do that? That'll be an extra dollar an hour or something. I should have done that. See what I'm saying? It's a barter chip where you go, I would, I'd be happy to do that if you want to pay me for it.

As an 18 year old poor college student, I was like, I don't have any bargaining chips. You did. I sure did.

Your work is time and value. You know, I do. I do.

I know now, Josh. Okay, good. Good, good, good.

Well, anyway. Well, I'll take care of the dishes. I just, I don't mind putting them in the dishwasher. I'll put them in the dishwasher. I'll put the soap in, I'll run the thing.

I don't care about the dishwasher. I'll put them in there. Okay. I just don't like doing them by hand. But then clean the dishwasher food trap. Cause that needs done. It's your turn. It's your turn. I've done it the last couple. I don't want to.

I don't either. You do it. I don't want to. Let's have one of the kids do it.

Yeah, back. You pick. He has the weakest little stomach. He's not going to do it. But Emery might. She'll, she'll be very upset about it.

She'll be, no, she'll hate it. But that somebody's got to know how to do it. This is a life skill. They need to know how to do this.

I know. So you got to teach them. You teach them.

I'll do it. It's so gross. Tag. You're it. I don't want to do it. Nobody wants to. It's gross. It's stinky.

I know it's so gross. Do it. I don't want to. I saw this question online and I thought it was interesting. So I'm going to ask it of you. What is the most beautiful drive you've ever taken?

Drive. Do you want me to go first? Sure. Okay.

I think the drive to McCall. I've not done that. It's beautiful. Now it gets a little bit windy. Yeah. So if you're car sick, take some dramamine. Yeah.

That one's beautiful. And then in San Diego, there's a drive that you can take to Catalina Island. Over the bridge. Yes.

It was a Catalina Island? I might be wrong. That's not what it's called. Core. It's something else.

But yes, over the big bridge and stuff, that was really, really cool. Did you find it? No.

Anyway. I don't know why I can't remember it. This is Catalina.

No, that's not it. It's called the Coronado Bridge. That drive is gorgeous.

Yeah, that was really, really cool. I was trying to think, like some of the wilderness drives, like even just driving through like the Teton area, even the passes are awesome. Just, you know, for quick drives. I drove to and from Colorado, like way south in Colorado. And southern Colorado is like not that much different than the high desert we live in. But there is a stretch of highway through some mountain areas and stuff. And I drove through it at night, which was really cool. And there was nobody around.

And I just pulled over on the road. And I was, I mean, it was like pitch black out there. And the sky was like insane, like you've never seen.

And so that was really, that was really amazing. And I'm looking forward to this backpacking trip I got coming up in the summer, because we'll be in the sawtooth. And it is a protected night sky preserve. And so like there's a lot of rules around like lights and stuff. Like that's why there's no billboards in the area. Like every, it's like a protected night sky. So it is going to be so dark and starry. And I'm working on, this is what I've been studying, is astrophotography and landscape photography stuff.

This is what I've been keeping me up all night. Because I'm trying to get, I'm trying to figure out camera settings and stuff to be able to do some of this stuff. And I want to go test everything before I'm out backpacking doing it for real. But I want to do some of that stuff to get some of me, there's some incredible photography that I'm trying to learn how to do.

Yeah, so yeah, that's what I've been studying. That's what I was doing last night when you're like, you're asleep downstairs. No, did you tell me this already? And I wasn't listening? Nope. Okay.

I mean, I've been, I've told you that I'm planning on doing some photography. Yeah, I knew that part. Anyway, so that's part of it.

And then I, I'm trying to think, because that was really cool. But that was part of a drive. It wasn't necessarily I drove through like the most beautiful area was just a really cool thing. I'll tell you what, drive is not beautiful. The drive to win a muck at Nevada.

I was going to say anywhere once you get west of Salt Lake City through the top of Nevada, because I drove to Chico, California across that too. Terrible. Boring. It's so bad. It's so boring.

People get outside of their cars to just make pictures with the white rocks on the dirt. It's so bad. And it's forever long. Or Nebraska, driving through Nebraska. It's probably beautiful. Wouldn't be able to tell you because both times we drove through it was night. Yeah, but it was also, you could tell that it was just flat. And straight, forever.

I 80, straight and flat forever. Michigan was really pretty to drive through. Oh, Michigan was gorgeous.

That was really cool. I did, I do like the southern Utah area, like driving through the red rocks is really, really cool down there. I've never done that. I did that on the way to and from Phoenix when I was moving there and moving back. That's a really cool spot. I'm trying to think where else is a really, really cool.

There's so many like amazing drives. Like I want to go up to Glacier. Glacier would be insane. You know, Semity would be insane to drive through. Yeah.

There's some just really cool stuff I'd like to see. Let's go for a drive. Okay. I mean, these are long ones. These are big ones. These are hours long. You know, when we were driving up and went up to like Hyowatha and stuff, the upper part of that area, Montana, into the upper part of Idaho is gorgeous. Yes.

Tons of trees and forest. That was really nice. Yes. That good stretch of Montana, where you're just right along the side of the river forever is okay. I'm not mad about that. Yeah.

That's good stuff. I kind of want to take a road trip now. Well, it's a little snowy.

It'd be a snowy one. It's okay. Okay. We're Idahoans. Yeah, we can handle it. We can drive in the snow. Yes, look at us.

Tough winter driving. Mucho. What?

What you looking at? I like it when you do this, where you go, listen, you just take this one. Okay, because you just talk. It's fine. You know, you listen to me. You listen to me.

No. You listen to me. Okay. No, listen. No. No, you listen. Oh, you listen to me. Here's the conversation. Yeah.

You ready? Go. All right. The conversation goes like this. You send me videos, and then I open the thing and I go, what'd you send me? And then you'll be sitting across from me and you'll laugh and you go, and then you go share. And then I get a notification on my phone this far away. And they'll go, Oh, what'd you send me? So then I open the video that I just heard you watch and laugh to so that I can watch it four feet away from you. And then I open it and I go, Oh, I already saw that one. And then you go, and you get all deflated about it. Yeah.

And you get upset because you found it for the first time. Thought it was great. Yeah. Felt like sharing it.

Yeah. But it's a video I've seen. Now, are you upset because I've seen it?

Or are you upset because I have seen it but didn't decide to share it with you when I saw it because I thought it was okay? So like there's this video of this guy, he's bass fishing, he's standing on his boat, running his trolling motor, and he's, you know, fishing. And he's got like a puppy on the boat, this little golden retriever puppy that falls off the boat. And he's like, come on, as he throws his fishing rod down, picks up the dog, the dog's sopping wet, shaking off on the boat, he picks up a thing, keeps fishing.

It's a funny little video. And you go like, that dog is just a floppy puppy. What a, what a nerd, right?

Like you're just like this dog. So it's a funny video. Yeah, it's a few seconds long. I'd seen it. And I laughed and I went, that dog's so silly. And then I moved on to the next video. I didn't go like that dog is so silly share. But you saw it this morning and went fishing and a funny dog. I'll send that to him.

He'll like that. And so I opened it and I said, oh yeah, I saw that yesterday. And then you felt all distraught.

Does it upset, what's the upset factor? I don't know. Here's something I noticed yesterday. What? I was scrolling through the family share, video share thing that we have with the kids on Instagram, that group chat.

Yeah. Where just videos get passed all day long. I get notifications about someone's Oshare to Reel.

Someone's Oshare to Reel. And I go, come on guys. What do you have work to do? Oh, I'm sorry. So anyway, that we want to share things with you. You sent one, two videos later, Emery sent the same video to the group.

And I went, this was two videos ago. Like I know it's good. It's fun. And then I brought it up and I said, how come you guys are sending the same videos to the group? Like what's the deal? And she was like, I don't know. I just thought it was funny and I shared it.

And I said, does that happen often? And she said, what's really crazy is mom will send me videos that I've already liked. And on Instagram, you can see that I've already liked it.

And then she'll send it to me. And I went, all right. So that happens.

That I didn't realize that that happened. There has been times where I've seen a video and I go, Oh, Emery is going to like this. Right. And then I do see that she's already liked it before I've sent it.

Right. I didn't know that I had sent her stuff that she had. Apparently that happens enough that she's noticed. I already liked that. Well, sorry for knowing what you like. Yeah. Well, that's fine. Or but you don't know what I've already seen.

Right. Because if I gave my it might have been like a, and then I move on and didn't like it. So you didn't get, you know, you wouldn't have any idea that I'd seen it.

Here's the thing, Josh. What is it? It's supposed to be a shared experience. Oh, is it supposed to be like us laughing at funny videos together. Right. And so if I see something that I think is funny, or I see something that I'm like, Oh, Josh is going to like this.

Yes. Then I share it with you like a shared experience. But I've already seen. Yeah.

And then you go, Oh, I've already seen that. That's rude. Do you see how rude that is?

No. Me being like, Oh, Josh is going to like this send. And I'm wearing anything that I don't say it like that. Yeah, you know, that's cute how you thought that was new.

That's days old. I didn't say that. I just said, Oh, I've already seen that. Next. What else you got?

You send me something better. It's the, it's the attitude you have when you say it. Is it? Yeah. Oh, here we go with old internet.

Get caught up. That's what you, yeah. Okay. Because you, I used to show you stuff and you'd say, I saw that on Reddit three days ago. Right.

Because you were sending me Facebook stuff. I'm like, that's old. Like that's days old.

I mean, at least here you're within like an afternoon. It's the attitude. It's your snarky little attitude. That's what I don't like.

Oh, is that right? I'm going to stop sending you things all together. Listen to me. No. No. Yes.

I forgot what I was going to say. Good. Wow.

Snarky attitude over here. Okay. Okay. You said on Valentine's Day. Oh, I saw, I didn't send it to you. Yeah, I know.

Yeah. A like everything I sent him was brand new. And I went, I don't know what Dad would be like. I'm not going to pretend. I'll tell you if I've already seen it. Yeah, I know. Seen it. Seen it. Here's the issue. You want to know what's really going on?

What? We are too similar and because we're in the same household and same workplace. We share that algorithm. Our algorithms have synced up. And so, oh yay. And so we're getting the same, we're getting all the same stuff. You and I. Yeah. I sent you one today that our friend Dana had sent me. Yes. And I was like, sometimes he sends some weird stuff.

Let's be real. He usually sends everything to everybody. Yeah, but he sent this one only to me. Are you sure? Yeah. Because it's just my. No, I know.

You can send separately or to a group. You hadn't seen it. I'm a little slow on watching videos that get sent to me. Yeah. I know.

I know this about you. Okay. Rude. Snarky attitude.

No, you. What's a sound that you should recognize as immediate danger? A lighthouse foghorn. That means the shore is nearby.

You should slow your role in your boat. Maybe not be full steam ahead toward a foggy situation. Okay.

I think that's what the fog horns for. Okay. Is to say the land is near. Yeah. Hey, hey. You know that whole thing. Good foghorn.

Yeah. That was good. What's another danger noise? If you're camping, this is the first thing I thought of. If you're camping and you hear the cracking of a tree. That could be anything. Tree branch, like a.

A snap and twigs. Yeah. Yeah. That could be anything.

I know. It could be anything. A bear?

Or a murderer. What do you think is going on in the woods? Bears. Yeah. Sometimes. If it's windy in the woods and you're camping and you hear a tree branch break, that's very scary.

Yeah. But that's why you got to pay attention to all that stuff before you set up your tent. Immediate danger. Thunder when you're on a boat. Ooh, scary.

Danger. In the water, period. Well, that means get off the water if you hear the thunders.

Because if you hear the thunder, the lightning is close enough, you need to get off the water. Let's see. If you have children in the sound of silence, if there's no sound. Okay. Sure. You go. The absence of sound.

What's happening? Or that noise a cat makes in the nighttime? That's not necessarily danger. That means danger in the morning. Oh, you sound like that sounds like you've had a lot of cats. Yep.

Let's see. What's another danger noise? I'm trying to think of something that would make me go like, I'm going to turn around.

What about if you're, when you were little and your mom said your whole name? That didn't really happen. Oh, really? Not that I wasn't in trouble. I just, it wasn't ever a full name situation. Ever?

No. I can understand the sentiment of it, but it wasn't, that wasn't necessarily a fear. Okay. Danger.

Trying to think. I mean, like, obviously like fire alarms and things like that, where you go, time to go. Like those are, those are pretty obvious. Like that's, you know, we should be paying attention to those things.

Like, and it's time to ski daddle. What, what if you're at the doctor or the dentist? Yeah. And they go, oops. That's a danger noise. Oops. If you're in the care of somebody and they say, oops, that's like a, what? Yeah. What?

Oops. That could be a problem or your hairdresser, if your hairdresser says, oops, you might have a problem. No, I'm already bald.

So worse they can do is make me more bald. Sirens, obviously they talk about like tornado sirens, fire alarms, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, those kinds of things. Any of those tones are obvious, right? It says environmental dangers like a woomph sound is the sound of an avalanche. Oh, really?

Because that means snow is sink. They spelled it W-H-U-M-P-H. Yeah. I don't ever want to hear that noise.

Oh, ever, ever, ever. A sizzling sound with electronics. Not good.

If stuff sounds like sizzling and then smoke comes out, bad time. Problem. Yep. That happened. What about, hold on. I just thought of one.

What if you're in the middle of something important and you hear like lower intestine gurgling? Danger. Danger, Will Robinson. Problem. Like that. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, yeah, there's plenty. There's plenty to be alert about. If you've got little kids in their silence right now, might want to go check on them. Yeah, go check it out. Go check that out. Fun fact.

Oh, Chantel fun fact. It's not even Friday. Usually it's a fun fact Friday. All right.

What's your fun fact on a, what is it, Wednesday? Yep. Okay. There are over 80 to 140 Lego bricks in existence for every person on earth.

That means 80 to 140. Wow. Okay. With over 1.1 trillion total Lego pieces produced in 2024. So, approximately 20 billion new pieces are manufactured annually.

So, about 35,000 to 78,000 bricks produced every minute. Interesting. Yeah. That's a lot.

There's a lot of Lego. Yeah. I saw a thing yesterday when I was looking online. There was a guy who said, you, everybody has a birthday Lego, but they don't know it. So, the idea is that you use your birthday to find which set is yours.

Like my birthday is February 22nd. So, 222. Yeah. Lego set 222 is a Lego city tank truck.

Cool. But that's, now see, it's a 222 piece. That's set number 3,180. Oh, wait. What do you mean? You gotta find Lego set number 222. Okay. But I don't know which one that is. Lego set 222. Look at Lego set 52.

That's so, like, it'd be so old. It'd be 502, right? It has to be 502, right? Yeah, look at that set. But I can't find, all I can see is like set 502 is a deluxe set with storage case. Oh, lame.

I don't want a storage case. So, I'm trying to find set number. I don't know.

Maybe you have to put in the year. Let me see if that's a thing. Okay. Here's what outside.

Now, here's another fun fact about Lego. Are you ready? Layed end to end.

The bricks, a single year. Okay, hold on. Let me start again. Layed end to end. A single year's production of Lego bricks could stretch more than five times around the world. That's how many Lego there are. That's so much.

Bro. There's a lot. I think your brother has most of them. A single two.

Probably. A single two by four Lego brick can support 375,000 other bricks before falling. That's a lot. I know. So, you could potentially have a tower that's 2.17 miles high.

Yeah. And there are more than 8 billion Lego minifigures in the world, equaling the human population. So, there's a minifigure for everyone in the whole world. Every person in the whole world.

Every person could have a minifigure and 80 to 104 pieces or whatever. 140. Yeah. Yeah.

That's crazy. Why don't we all have Lego? I have some Legos. I've got some minifigures. Same.

I have Robin Hood and Prince John. Yes. Minifigures.

Yeah. You have one of yourself in your car that's incredibly inconveniently located. Only for you. Every time I drive, I go, why is that right there? And then you move it and then I have to move it back.

It never gets in my way ever. Can never see how many miles your car has on it because that Lego figure is sitting there. Why do I ever need to know that? I don't need to look at that.

You were doing some research on something, weren't you? I was trying to find birthday sets. I can't figure it out. I'll have to figure out how to look it up. I need to find a way to look up like individual Lego sets because just Googling it isn't working. I'll figure it out. Okay. There's some fun facts about Lego. There's a guy who is traveling across college football stadiums to highlight the worst seats that a person can buy.

Perfect. And that's an interesting thing because when you go to buy tickets, they're expensive first of all. But to know the worst seats, that would be helpful for venues to go, this is an obstructed view.

This is a terrible location. And a lot of these tickets sell for less than the average price. But he wants to see what the view actually is. And so he has an account on Instagram and it shows exactly what the fans experience from those sections where there's pillars, railings, awkward angles, anything that completely block your view of the field.

And then the project alone is raising questions on how stadiums sell these seats and whether a lower price truly reflects the value of the experience. And these pictures are hilarious because he's sitting in the worst seats. And somebody's taking his picture from behind. So he's just sitting there.

That is so right next to the wall. And you can't see anything. You can't see anything, right? You can see the end zone, but that's a terrible seat.

Watch this one is the worst one. He's directly behind a pillar. Yeah, but at least you can kind of lean and you can see some field. The one where he's next to you. Yeah, I know. But the one where he's next to the wall, like you can't see a thing. You can't see anything. Like why is that even a seat? Right. Like you should not have a seat there. What they should do in those instances, like that's ridiculous.

You can't see anything. But what they could do is because like those ones that have kind of a railing where it's slanted down, they should platform those seats a little bit higher so that you can see over it. So just, you know what I'm saying? That's structural. But just build a couple of tiers of those seats up higher so that you're up high enough to see. I know that sometimes in theaters when you're buying a seat, it has something that says partially obstructed view.

Yeah. Or it'll give you details about it. That's partially unobstructed. Yeah, you can't see anything. Yeah, though that's all obstructed except for a little bit. If you're if you're buying a ticket to People Watch, then that's the seat for you. Wow.

Because you can't see the field. I think it's a great idea. I appreciate that he's doing that. Now, we don't go to a lot of football games, but if we did, and I would like to know. Yeah, no, I agree. The obstructed view. But even like when we went to, we went to the BSU-USU game. Is that right? Yeah. Utah State.

Yes. Yeah, Utah State and Boise State game. I got to view the seats as I was buying the tickets.

I could see, you know, where we were kind of sitting. And I like that they include that information. I do too. That's helpful. I know when I buy tickets to see stuff at the Eccles.

Yes. Down in Salt Lake, it'll give you like a view. Here's what it looks like. If you sit in this section, here's the your view of the stage. I like that.

I appreciate that. I almost like in that venue, I like being in the first mezzanine. I don't want to be in like third mezzanine.

That's too high. I was in third mezzanine. I understand. But I like when we were in that like first mezzanine. I know. But I think you have a really good view of the stage.

It felt like I was still part of the action. The floor seats look too flat. Like I feel like if anybody taller than me sits in front of me, which is not hard to be, that I'm going to just see the back of somebody's head for a good portion of the time. So I'd rather have the first mezzanine in that theater. I bought third mezzanine tickets to see Hamilton and we were very far away.

I needed some opera glasses. Right. Third mezzanine. I mean, you got to be a part of the experience, but it's so far away. But I couldn't get close to it. I understand.

Those tickets were so expensive. I understand. I'm so poor. We're radio people. I get it. I know.

I live with you. I know the details. But I had a very unobstructed view.

I got to see everything. It was just very far away. It was just far away.

The people were so little. The sound was good though. Yeah. Okay.

That was great. Yeah. Well, be richer. Okay. I'm working on it every day.

Good. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have a messy house or a messy car? Messy on the inside? Yeah. Yeah.

Not messy, the soccer player. Good one. Okay. A messy house or a messy car?

Yeah. I'm going to choose a messy car. Me too.

Because I spend less time in it. That's exactly what I was going to say. Yeah. Well. And it's not like I'm relaxing in my car.

It should be. I don't want to. Sometimes my truck gets a little messy like when I go on adventures and then I go, I don't want to clean it. And so it stays messy for a couple of days. And then eventually I'm like, okay, I've had enough. Sometimes your car gets messy because you don't throw away some of your cups from lunch until I ride in there. And then I take out all the garbage cups because I don't have room for my water bottle. And I go, you got to get rid of some of these cups.

So I can put my water bottle there. Preach. You should appreciate it. I preach. You should. Yep, I do. I'm a nice wife. Yeah.

Clean the night. Hey, you know what? Next time, hey, settle down. Next time you're headed to the truck, maybe just grab like a little garbage sack on the way.

Why don't you do that? It's your car. I don't think about it. But if you're going to be cleaning it up anyway, you might as well just grab yourself a little trash bag and make it easier. I don't know that I need to clean it up until I get in there.

That's what I'm saying. Maybe just throw one in your pocket with your weird Kleenex and then just have it ready. I threw on my coat this morning and I go, what's in my pocket?

Yeah, surprise. Kleenex. Gross Kleenex. It's not gross.

Dude, it is. And then you'll wash it and then it's all over in the washer and the dryer. I've done that. Yeah, every time. Not every time. Every time you wash a jacket. No, not every time. And then the lint traps all full of lint and crumbled up Kleene tissue. So anyway, I'm choosing the messy car. Good for you.

Not the soccer player. I have a big project that I want to do. What is it? It doesn't involve you settle down.

I didn't think it did. I just want to know what you're up to. What are you thinking?

What's what's the haps? I want to purge my craft room. That is a big project. It's a big project. Okay. Give me the motivation here. What's the plan? There's too much stuff in there.

Okay. Too many unfinished projects that I know I'll never finish and so I just have to part ways and be like, I get it. You're never going to get finished.

I got to break up with you. Okay. There's just not enough space.

I go in there and I get over whelped because there's just too much stuff there. Okay. So what I want to do is remove everything, clear the space out completely and then slowly put things back in. How slowly?

I mean, in a decent manner of time. What does that mean? I want to go through it all and put it back in there, like start moving the furniture back in and then like putting the pieces. So you want full removal of everything. Yes. Are you going to paint?

Yes. I would like to paint. You want to take everything off the walls. That's such a big project. The whole thing's a big project. Maybe I won't paint. That's why I haven't done it yet because it's a big project.

Right. I really want to replace the light. I hate the light. You have three different lights in there.

You have sconces, you have a top light, but your top light doesn't do you any good because it's not bright enough. No. For when you're crafting.

Correct. But it's also not dim enough that maybe you just want to have a chill spot because if you thought about that. Having a chill spot? Yeah. Because it's busy in there because you have a lot of stuff. Yeah, I know. But we've talked about you have a lot of crafts from like when the kids were little, like little kid craft supplies that we don't necessarily need to have hanging around. Yeah.

Right. Like I've got pipe cleaners and glitter. Because here's the thing about your chair. Do you like your chair you bought? Is it comfortable? It's comfortable. It's not necessarily the best chair for sewing.

I've noticed. But is it a good hangout chair? It's a nice like chill. Like could you just like chill in it and read with a blanket or something?

Yeah. If you had the right setup, not that we don't have that literally on the other side of the wall in the library room. But you could have a little nook in your room. A reading nook? No.

A relaxing nook. No, it's not it. That's not it. You don't want that in that space? No, that space is meant to be creative. It's not like the chair is fine to sit on as I watch like a tutorial on something. But then it's like up and crafting, creating.

Yeah. It's not a reading area. That's different. That's a different space.

That's what I'm asking. I just have too much stuff. I got to get rid of it. I got to part ways with some stuff. Okay. I've got to say goodbye to some yarn that I know I'm never going to use.

I see. So it makes me sad because I do have a lot of projects in there that I have started that I have not completed. And now I know like I've been hanging onto this for years. It's time to realize that it's never, we're never going to finish.

We were never meant to be me in this project. So is this like when you say that, do you mean like scrapbook stuff? Yes. Unfinished quilts or those still going to be finished.

I'm just trying to understand. No, I'm going to keep those. Okay.

What else other than scrap because you have a lot of paper, scrapbook stuff, a lot. I know. A lot. I know because you worked at a scrapbook place for a lot of years and a craft store before that.

Yeah. And a lot of your paycheck was paid in fancy 12 by 12 paper. Well, I got a discount. You see. Yeah. No, I understand.

Girl math. I get it. And then sometimes my boss would say, oh, you can just put that like on a charge. Yeah, right.

And then we'll just take whatever you owe off out of your paycheck. Yeah, no, I know. Okay, cool.

I remember. So you have a lot. I do. Of scrapbook stuff. Yes, I do. What do you want to do with it?

I don't know. I've got to donate it or something. Do you want to, I mean, do people buy that stuff? You have a lot of stuff. I know. I know.

So do you. This isn't about my room. I know I have a lot of stuff.

I know. That's why I got to clean it out. You know, the way I noticed I had a lot of stuff was like, I got trapped in there the other day and I was like, I can't even find what I need. There's so much stuff in here that it's not even, it's just a mess. I got it.

I just got a purge at all. Yeah. Where are you going to put it while you're going through it? In the basement. Yeah.

In the area. That's what I was afraid of. Settle down. That's why I was asking how long it's going to take to put it all back. Because you're going to put it into the library and then we're going to have stuff. If I don't paint, then it'll go quicker. And I don't know if I, painting sucks. I know.

But we could change out your ceiling light. That's easy. Yeah. I need the new ceiling light.

That's no big deal. I hate that light. And we could get you one that has the ability to go different shades of white. Like what we kind of like what we put in the hall. We could do the same kind of light that's in the hall in there, which might be better.

That might be better. Because then you could change it to a dimmer light when you're just kind of trying to relax a little bit or going through your thought process. But then you can turn it on when you need to see things. Oh, that light works.

Yeah. Or you could make it like a color if you wanted. You could have like, oh, I'm going to work in green today or whatever.

You know, you'd have some options. That's fun. That is fun. Plus those lights are cool. You just want to buy more of those.

They're pretty cool. Well, one of these days I'll get around to it, but it's not today. Okay.

Just know what's on my radar. Yeah. If one day means I'm going to come home and there's going to be everything's going to be out of there because you're going to get inspired.

One of these days I'm going to get motivated. Yeah. And I'm going to say get it all out. Yeah.

Maybe I'll just go like wall by wall area by area. Right. Maybe that's just a little easier to swallow.

If I start the next question I'm going to ask is how much of it's going to end up in the garage that just got cleaned out? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't believe you.

It's not happening today. So just quiet down. All right.

Let's wrap up the show so you can get to purge in that craft room. It's not going to happen today. We'll be back tomorrow. Have a great Wednesday. Good bye.

Yeah. We'll see you later. All right. See you. Okay. Bye.
